Medical and pharmaceutical equipment needs materials that can perform reliably. The fluids and chemicals used in these systems need tubing that will not react with them, break down at high temperatures, or increase the risk of contamination. Even a...
Valves, pumps, and bearings all depend on components that can manage constant motion, friction, and harsh operating conditions. A material that diminishes easily or reacts with the wrong chemical can shut down an entire system. PTFE Teflon Rods have become...
Chemical processing plants work in very demanding conditions. Equipment may be exposed to strong acids, harsh chemicals, high temperatures, and constant wear. If a material cannot withstand these conditions, it can cause leaks, contamination, equipment damage, and expensive downtime....
A gasket may be a small part of a system, but choosing the wrong one can cause serious problems. In harsh industrial conditions, equipment may be exposed to strong chemicals, high temperatures, or high pressure. Even a small leak...
PTFE Teflon rolls are used in many industrial applications because they can handle chemicals, high temperatures, and regular use. Unlike PTFE sheets, which come in set sizes, rolls provide a continuous length of material. The material is wound around...
Carbon-filled PTFE rods are a modified version of standard PTFE, made by blending carbon into the material to improve strength and wear performance. Carbon is added because pure, or “virgin,” PTFE, while excellent in many ways, can wear down...
PTFE tubing is one of the most trusted materials in industries that can’t afford failure. It resists nearly every industrial chemical, holds up in extreme heat and cold, and keeps its shape and performance for years, even in the...
When selecting an engineering plastic, many people focus on the material itself. However, choosing the right form of the material is just as important. PTFE, commonly known by the name Teflon®, is available in several forms, with sheets and...
